Publisher tinybuild has announced Duckside, a new persistent-world survival game for PC where you play as a duck. And no, this is not a joke despite it being April 1. Check out the announcement trailer above and the first screenshots in the gallery below.Duckside has crafting, base-building, PvP, PvE, and, since you’re a duck, it has flying too. Precision flight controls allow you to maneuver through the air both in combat and just to scout, while you’ll also upgrade your weapons (read: guns) along with your bases to defend against enemy raids on servers that support up to 50 fowl players. Duckside – First ScreenshotsAs the developers put it with tongue firmly in cheek, “Duckside isn’t just about surviving; it’s about getting into the mind of a duck. Being a duck. Feeling the cold steel of a machine gun on your feathers. And the peace of mind that comes with settling down after a long day, in a house you built out of trash that you’d looted off some guy’s corpse. Are you a chicken? No, you’re a DUCK.”If you’d like to learn more or wishlist Duckside, you can visit its Steam page.Ryan McCaffrey is IGN’s executive editor of previews and host of both IGN’s weekly Xbox show, Podcast Unlocked, as well as our monthly(-ish) interview show, IGN Unfiltered. He’s a North Jersey guy, so it’s “Taylor ham,” not “pork roll.” Debate it with him on Twitter at @DMC_Ryan.
